least five Russian universities included in the top-100 lists of three major international university rankings: the Academic Ranking of World Universities, QS World University Rankings, and THE World University Rankings, compiled annually by the ranking agencies ShanghaiRanking Consultancy, Quacquarelli Symonds, and the Times Higher Education magazine, respectively. Universities participating in the project regularly compile development roadmaps in which they outline their goals in regard to enhancing their position in international rankings. The project's council reviews these roadmaps and consults the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, which in turn distributes funding among the participating universities. ITMO University has been one of the project's top participants; these universities receive subsidies of up to 1 billion rubles. In September 2016, ITMO University made its debut in THE World University Rankings within the 350-400 range, and was ranked 56th in computer science (but it dropped to the 101-125 range in 2020 in computer science), but it dropped to #601 in the world ranking in 2022. In June 2017, ITMO debuted in the QS World University Rankings within the 601-650 range, but it was ranked #901 in the world in 2022. ITMO made its debut in the ARWU in August 2018 within the 801-900 range. As of the start of 2020, ITMO University featured in 13 subject rankings published by THE, QS, and ARWU. The university is also included in a number of other Russian and international rankings compiled by various analytics agencies, companies, and magazines. Since 2018, the Russian edition of the Forbes magazine has been publishing its ranking of the top 100 Russian institutions of higher education, in which ITMO University has consistently been placing among the top ten.
